Starting university wasn't as easy as Gemma imagined. The workload was heavy, and some days she felt overwhelmed. There were nights when she doubted herself—wondering if she really had what it took to become a doctor.
One evening, after a particularly difficult exam, Gemma sat alone in her dorm room, tears threatening to fall.
"God, why is this so hard? I want to do Your will, but I feel so weak," she whispered.
That night, as she opened her Bible for comfort, she read a verse that seemed written just for her:
*"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."* — Philippians 4:13
It was a turning point.
From that moment, Gemma stopped relying only on her own strength. She began to pray daily, asking God to carry her through challenges. Slowly but surely, her confidence grew—not because she was perfect, but because she knew God was with her.
Her classmates started noticing her dedication. When they faced struggles, they came to her for encouragement and help.
Gemma realized that her journey wasn't just about becoming a doctor. It was about living out her faith in every step, showing others that God's grace can transform even the most ordinary life.
